G,ape Syrup for shipment.

Prof. E. w. Hilgards report of the
vitcultural work at the slabratory of
the State University during the seasons
of 1855 and 1886, which has just been
published by the State Printer, contains
a very Interesting chapter relating to the
promising new industry by which grape
must is converted into merchantable
and transportable article. An ex.
change draws attention to the value of
this process, which has been in use for
many years in Europe as means OF
supplying to distant wine.making dis
tricts the ingredients needed to make
up the deficiencies in the quantity
or quality OF their wines from regions
where wine making could not be as ad.
vantageously carried on, or facilities
were wanting for marketing the ready
made wine. The application of the
we'll known condensing process in a
vacuum apparatus to unfermented fresh
grape.juice brings (without any injury
to the wine.making qualities) its bulk
down to the fourth or fifth of it's original
quantity, and leaves it fit for transporta.
tion under any circumstances, and pres.
ervation for any time. The condensed
Juice is a thick fluid exactly like
syrnp--in fact it is grape syrup.
If the process has been conducted at the
lowest temperature possible-about lO4
degrees-and with perfect vacuum, the
constituents of the condensed grape
Juice will show no difference from those
of the fresh grape juice. The grape
syrup thus produced is said to have
proved itself unchangeable, not only
when closed up in air.tight vessels, but
when exposed to the air, and at the same
time to retain its full fermentipg capac-
ity for many years or for an indefinite
period. In order to make wine from it
at any time, or in any place whittier it
has been shipped, the same quan.
tity of water is added as was
evaporated by the condenslng
process, and the regenerated grape juit g
is then subjected to fermentation, the
same as fresh must. The wine thus OBJ.
tanned has been proved, by all kinds of
experiments, and by the best known
vinological authorities of Europe. to be
fully Identical in quality, flavor and
color with the wine produced from
fresh rape.juice by the usual process.
For the making of claret from condensed
must the pomace or SIX ms of black
grapes, the juice of which has been ex.
pressed, are dried and preserved with
the must, and are used later on in the
making of wine in giving it its peculiar
color and flavor.

Pomona Items.

This seasons tree planting has shown
that the preference has been largely In
favor of the planting of orange trees.
French prunes have also come in Tor
good share of favor, and the olive tree
Rus sold well. Other deciduous fruits
have not been in much demand and the
sale of this class of trees has been very
light through the season. The nurseries
Of this locality all disposed of their stock
before the season opened and conse.
quently great deal of importing has
been done from different localities.
Even Florida has had to come to the
rescue. Pomona in the near future will
be heard of as one of the largest and

through obsel vations of one of Pomona's

been set as follows: Leaving the main
line of the Southern Pacific road at

from half mile to o mile north of the

easterly to San Dimas Wash; thence
along the north line of the San Jose

thence due east passing about 700 feet
south of Indian hill and about half

work is temporarily suspended there. A
force of men is busy between Claremont
and Ontario taking up the cribbing and
constructing bridges and culverts. A
force of track layers has also been put to
work upon the Los Angeles end of the
road at the San Gabriel river and are
working this way. The two forces will
probably meet in the neighborhood of
Mud Springs. We have it on the au-
thority of Byron Waters, the railroad

A Sfxty.Pound TumOr

MICHIGAN CITY, April IA very successful
medical operation was recently performed
here. Mrs. Howe, an estimable lady, mad
been suffering for a long time from what
was thought to be dropsy. After "a careful dag
nosis OF the case however, the physicians came
TO the conclusion that the patient was suffering
from ovarian tumor- This belief was SUBJ
seQuentlY strengthened by the opinion OF Dr..
FahnestOck. of Laporte who YVES called into
consultation. The swelling continued to grow
in size so rapidly that it was determined
to perform an operation. Drs. Cole, Fahne-
stock and Calvert assembled to perform
the task The patient was first placed under a
powerful angsthetic, and an incisi0n made in
the abdomen which revealed, as expected, a tu-
NOR OF great size. An hour was required to re-
move the abnormal growth, which weighed over
sixty pounds Much difficulty was experienced
in loOsening the tumor, as it adhered tena-
ciously to the abdominal walls and adjacent or
ganS. The task was ultimately accom-
plished in a highly successful manner,
and the patient, who is fIty-eight years old.
has begun to recover. ThSe was danger OF a
fatal termination OF the operation from the
shock and from internal hemorrhage, but it is
believed these have now passed, and that Mrs.
Howe will speedily recover, il no unforeseen
complications arise. The operation was a great
success. and one OF the most difficult performed
in this city OF recent years. This growth had
been forming for about five years, and had OBJ
tanned such proportions that the patients
health was seriously impaired, and the operation
was found necessary to save her life.

KANSAS NEW LIQUOR LAW.

ST. JOSEPH, No., April 9-The new law passed
by the late Kansas Legislature, which is in
tended a backbone to the present prohib-
itory law, is playing havoc with the liquor trade
in Kansas. The st. Joseph wholesale dealers
complain of falling off in trade, and a firm
that is known as one OF the largest in the city
has taken four of it's Kansas men OFF the road.
In Kansas City, 1t is understood the result of
the law is the same, the Kansas trade being
virtually killed. The law makes it necessary
for man desiring to open drug store to have
twenty. five women signers to the petition, ana
any person who buys liquor must go before a
notary public and make affidavit as to what use
he viii make OF it, and that it is not intended
to be drunk as a beverage. st. Joseph's whole
sale liquor dealers have in all taken about fif-
cen men off the road as a result of this amend
ment OF the laws.

OF seeding wheat was somewhat nnfavorable in
the States on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gull
coasts owing to drouth during the late summer

Texas. The same unfavorable conditions pre-
vailed in Western Missouri and Kansas. The
continued dry weather made blowing difficult

local exceptions, the plant made good growth
